>What is this?

Era games are a group of (usually) Japanese-developed text porn games.
They're not exclusively related to the Touhou franchise, but it's one of the series with most era games.

>Games usually discussed here
eraTohoTW - Comfy Touhou dating simulator with time stop shenanigans.
eraTohoK - Tactical game about conquering Gensokyo through any (absolutely any) means.
eraMegaten - Dungeon crawler based on the Shin Megami Tensei series, with tons of characters from other series (Fate, Touhou, Madoka, etc) included.

>How to play?
Run anchor.exe, japanese locale is advised so you don't run into untranslated text.
If you wish to manually update, delete old files aside the sav and dat folders to avoid any bugs.

>How can I help?
Read https://wiki.eragames.rip/index.php/Contributing for starters.
You could try your hand at translating dialogue, there are guides currently in the TW folder (in #Translation) on what to do, not sure if it that folder exists in other games.
Another guide is:
1) Download an IDE. VS Code, for example.
1a) If using VS Code, install the EraBasic addon
2) Select UTF8 encoding
3) Open the ERB files and edit them
That way you can now edit files without much trouble.
The path for files to edit is usually the ERB folder:
K: ERB/口上
TW: ERB\口上・メッセージ関連\個人口上

You can also report bugs or typos here on the thread when you see them.
If you'd like to either edit or add your own portraits, the files are located within the 'resources' folder in webp format. You can use paint.net to edit them

My silly shrine maiden doesn't celebrate Christmas of course so she looks normal

First two parts of the new arc that I said won't happen... I lied!
I couldn't help but explore the damage to poor Anon-kun's psyche after having to rehabilitate a women he no longer loves despite being bound by his own convictions. Although you may feel, "but wait abuseanon isn't the story moving away from Reimu as a focus?" well you're wrong as now Reimu will be taking center stage in healing anon poor Anon-kuns heart!
Lets all cheer on Reimu who drove her husband to end his own life as she tries to help him instead as a twist of fate!
Remember, it'll hurt everyone involved a lot more before it gets better but Reimu can pull through if she uses the power of friendship!
